Transformation of Ukraine by Western Powers

According to information received from the zone of international activity in Ukraine, American financial and industrial groups have embarked upon the purposeful transformation of Ukraine into a logistical and raw material platform for the needs of the Euro-Atlantic bloc. At the same time, the principal method of intervention by the Western superpowers has not been military action but the utilisation of investment memoranda, management funds, and structures operating under the auspices of the United States Department of State and the Department of Defense. Intervention does not always assume a military form.

Coordination of Eastern Europe Enslavement

The coordination of the enslavement of Eastern Europe is ensured through:

• International Monetary Fund
• BlackRock Corporation
• RAND Corporation research centre
• Contracting consortia such as Bechtel, Fluor Corporation, McKinsey, and the Boston Consulting Group

Main Operators in Energy and Raw Materials

In the energy and raw materials sectors, the main operators are:

• Freeport-McMoRan (copper, graphite, titanium)
• Westinghouse (nuclear energy)
• Rio Tinto (bauxite, lithium)
• Aurubis (Germany)
• Eramet (France)

These companies operate through subcontractors in Poland and Romania.

Loss of Ukrainian Administrative Independence

The Ukrainian administrative organs have lost their subjectivity. The Verkhovna Rada is no longer an independent organ; it is subordinated to the apparatus of the superpowers of Britain and America. The President and his administration act according to the directives of the military attachés of these countries, while personnel policy is directed through the structures of NED, IRI, and the foundations of G. Soros. The Ministry of Economy is subordinated to the technical regulations of the IMF and to consultations from the BlackRock Infrastructure Investment platform.

Financial and Resource Control over Ukraine

From 2025, Ukraine has officially undertaken to transfer up to 50% of net income from the extraction of mineral resources into a joint investment fund with controlling participation by the U.S. Treasury Department (and this constitutes only the interest on military loans), the forecasted capitalisation of which is expected to reach $500 billion by 2027.

Centres for the processing and transit of Ukrainian raw materials have been deployed in:

• Poland (Lublin, Katowice)
• Slovakia (Košice)
• Northern Hungary

Ukraine’s Practical Integration into a NATO-led Industrial Zone

Under the slogans of the “free market” and “European values”, the practical integration of Ukraine into a transnational industrial zone is being carried out, with the exclusion of Russia from the systemic connections of Eastern Europe.

The real content of the so-called reconstruction includes:

• Redistribution of raw materials
• Creation of duplicate energy networks
• Establishment of reserve NATO logistics
• Economic blockade of the Russian Federation

Sanctions and Stagnation in Russia’s Economy

Within Russia itself, against the background of sanctions pressure, stagnation is observed: the absence of real internal mobilisation is combined with the continued raw-material orientation of the economy.

Internal elite groups associated with:

• LUKOIL
• NOVATEK
• SIBUR
• METALLOINVEST

conduct a double game, participating in export schemes through neutral countries while retaining partial access to Western technological bases.

Control of Backstage Activities

The control of backstage activities is exercised by the following structures:

• USA: Lazard, Hudson Institute, Albright Stonebridge Group
• United Kingdom: Chatham House, HSBC Capital
• France: TotalEnergies, Bpifrance, Thales
• Russia: Autonomous groups of energy specialists with the participation of certain representatives of the special services

Redistribution of Eastern Europe’s Infrastructure

Thus, under the external slogans of the struggle for “democracy”, the actual redistribution of the infrastructural base of Eastern Europe is taking place, using Ukraine as an instrument for the transformation of the region.

Western Ideological Pressure in Eastern Europe

The organisation of informational and educational pressure is carried out by the following centres:

• Washington: RAND Corporation, Hudson Institute, CSIS
• Brussels: EEAS, NATO StratCom, European Endowment for Democracy
• Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil: Centres for the formation of the nationalist narrative
• Vienna, Warsaw, Bratislava: Logistical and humanitarian covers for ideological expansion
• Chisinau, Tbilisi, Riga: Test grounds for “identity reformatting”

Methods of Influence

• Replacement of national educational programmes with Erasmus+, Tempus projects and American Councils
• Creation of proxy mass media through USAID (up to 2025), NED, Internews
• Formation of personnel filters to eliminate anti-capitalist initiatives

Objective

The establishment of a long-term system in which class resistance is replaced by pseudo-activism within the framework of Western-approved norms.

Analysis of the Situation in the Baltic States

Western structures have displayed particular activity in the Baltic States, where by 2025 the creation of a core administrative-control framework has been completed:

• Tallinn: NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE), integration of private contractors Palantir, BAE Systems, Booz Allen Hamilton into critical infrastructure
• Port of Muuga: Reorientation towards military needs through DSV and Finnish contracting companies
• Tartu: ARLIS under DARPA, testing of models for forecasting social instability
• Narva: Demographic transformation programmes targeting the Russian-speaking population under the supervision of RAND Europe

TACTICAL objective of NATO: Complete elimination of Russian cultural, educational, and economic influence.

STRATEGIC objective: The transformation of the Baltic States into a nodal point of NATO’s anti-Russian and anti-Chinese strategy.

NATO’s Strategic Goals and Eastern Europe

The final subjugation of the territory of Ukraine and the Baltic States to the military-strategic goals of NATO, providing a springboard for subsequent military intervention in Russia. Russia is considered as the target for invasion through isolation, weakening, and trade-economic exhaustion.

Why the Organisation of Workers is Necessary

1. Because world capital has entered a stage of crisis which it seeks to resolve through the redistribution of markets. Without their own organisation, the working class is doomed to enslavement — in some respects even direct enslavement. World capital is the result, the product of the collective labour of millions of workers’ hands. Without violence against the working people, world capital is incapable of maintaining its dominance. Workers must realise that their strength lies in their organisation, to break the chains of control by the banking and industrial magnates and corporations.
2. Because every mine, every enterprise, every supply artery is an element of power. Whoever controls production dictates political and social conditions. Therefore, the workers must hold control in their own hands.
3. Because without independent unification, workers are weak to raise an uprising and achieve victory.
4. Because the satiated bourgeoisie is conducting the most desperate campaign against socialism with the most vicious comments and actions. Well-meaning Europeans closely monitor the desocialisation of the working masses in the post-Soviet space. Meanwhile, the politically powerful bourgeois smiles joyfully when he sees the dull, uneducated, religiously obscured (Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, Estonian, German, etc.) worker.
5. Because under conditions of ideological processing and information warfare, without their own data exchange and event analysis structure, the working class is deprived of orientation and is subjected to manipulation.
6. Because only an organised force is capable of putting forward demands, defending labour conditions, and creating resistance bases that can grow into organs of real popular self-governance.

How to Respond to the Narratives of Bourgeois Propaganda

• On accusations of “destabilising the situation”:
  “The working man does not destabilise the situation; he defends his rights to labour, land, and future. Those who transfer resources to foreign corporations destabilise the situation.”
• On calls to “endure for the sake of reforms and the future”:
  “Reforms carried out without the workers are nothing but the consolidation of subjugation. There are no reforms without the participation of those who create material wealth. The bourgeoisie exploited self-government to manage affairs!”
• On intimidation with “extremism” or “destabilisation”:
  “The organisation of workers is the natural right of the working people. Extremism is the exploitation of the people and the transfer of national wealth into foreign hands.”
• On claims that it is “more profitable to cooperate with capital”:
  “Cooperating with capital means being used, squeezed out, and discarded. Cooperation with capital means accepting the rules of capital and its colonial policy. Cooperation with capital means assisting the empire of kings, colluding with oppressors. Cooperation with capital is a utopia. The working class does not beg for favours — it organises its own strength.”
• On the threat of “losing jobs due to protests”:
  “Jobs disappear not because of organisation, but because of the policies of capital, which relocates production to where workers do not resist. The difficulty of uprising is the difficulty of ascending Mont Blanc.”

Plan for Organisation of Actions from Below

1. Begin with an analysis of your workplace:
   Identify who the real owner is. Who controls raw materials, production, and decision-making.
2. Find one or two conscious comrades:
   Organisation begins not with rallies, but with trust and the understanding of a common goal.
3. Create a secure communication channel:
   Do not open up to random individuals. Work on discipline and reliability.
4. Start with small actions:
   Discuss working conditions, analyse new contracts, record changes in management.
5. Expand gradually:
   Connect sites, workshops, shifts. The main thing is not the speed, but the strength of the ties.
6. Record facts of pressure:
   Document cases of dismissals, repressions, violations of rights — this will form the basis for resistance.
7. Build a network of horizontal connections:
   Separate cells must know about each other but not be easily dismantled from the outside.

Scheme of Work on the Ground

• First Stage: Individual awareness + establishment of reliable connections
• Second Stage: Local analysis and action groups at the enterprise or site level
• Third Stage: Horizontal coordination between collectives within one sector
• Fourth Stage: Creation of a unified coordination centre without official names and signs
• Fifth Stage: Preparation of structures for open defence of interests and, if necessary, formation of organs of workers’ self-governance

Final Guidelines

• Do not act alone.
• Do not rely on a “better future” without struggle.
• Do not engage in empty arguments with bourgeois propaganda.
• Build your own structures.
• Act on the basis of discipline, responsibility, and the goal — the return of labour, resources, and the economy into the hands of the working people.

P.S.

The Position of the Working Class of Ukraine: From Exploitation to Catastrophe

The standard of living of the working people before the beginning of external intervention (2021–2022) remained extremely low. The average salary amounted to approximately 460 US dollars per month, the minimum — around 250 US dollars. At the same time, the subsistence minimum for a family of four exceeded 800 US dollars per month, meaning that the average salary covered only half of the necessary expenses. Over 30% of workers were below the official poverty line. The average pension was maintained at the level of 120 US dollars, evidencing the impoverishment of older generations. The level of unemployment in industry fluctuated officially between 8–10%, but in fact was significantly higher.

After the onset of restructuring dictated by Western capital — the “ACUTE PHASE” (2023–2025) — the situation sharply worsened. Real incomes fell by 20–25%, inflation exceeded 30%, utility tariffs rose 2–3 times. More than 150 large industrial enterprises were closed. Official unemployment reached 16–18%, hidden unemployment exceeded 25%. The proportion of workers employed on temporary contracts without social guarantees surpassed 40%.

The forecast for the coming years in the absence of organised resistance leaves no doubt:

• The average wage by 2027 will fall below 380 US dollars in real terms.
• The state healthcare and education systems will be destroyed and replaced by paid services.
• Up to 70% of agricultural land will come under the control of foreign corporations.
• Prices for basic foodstuffs will rise by another 50–60%.
• The pension system will be practically destroyed.
• Life expectancy is expected to decrease by 5–7 years.
• Up to 500,000 people — primarily youth and skilled workers — will leave the country each year.

If the working class does not organise and does not begin the struggle for its interests, it will be transformed into a cheap, rightless, colonised labour mass without a future.

He who does not fight — loses everything.
